    Pre-St. Jean Walking in France

    I started my Camino in Bordeaux, on the old Via Turonensis. The route is well-marked, with sufficient, inexpensive gites for accommodations. The French people you'll meet are extremely nice, as are the local hositalerros/volunteers but there are very few fellow pilgrims along the Way to the...

    Caminho Portuguese Interior (CPI)

    I am considering starting my next camino in Viseu on the Caminho Portuguese Interior and joining the Camino Sanabres enroute to Santiago. There is an interesting and well-written forum on the CPI on this site. However, I am wondering if there is an existing guidebook for the Caminho Portuguese...

    Has anyone ever walked principally at night?

    While there may be stretches where the trail is safe to walk at night w/o tripping, falling or plain wiping out I think the Camino Frances is, overall, far too treacherous a journey for that.

    Two Brazilian pilgrims rescued on Route Napoleon

    I'm walking the Camino now and I met someone last week who came via Napolean and bragging about it. It is just hard to root for people like this. I wonder why I struggle to be non-judgmental.

    Walking from Bordeaux

    After following the forum for many months and having had to postpone my Camino, I am finally on the Voie de Tours from Bordeaux. I started on Feb 25 and after a rough week of long distances between towns (at least for me,) with no nothing in between, a good amount of rain, and not a fellow...

    Daily foot care at day's end

    Thank you, ChristineW67. You make a lot of sense. But, honestly, Vicks. That is some powerful multipurpose stuff.

    Daily foot care at day's end

    Why do so many people recommend Vaseline? I understand the creams because they absorb but Vaseline just seems to stay there in a gunky way.

    Class of 2017

    I have been lurking around and learning a lot this past year from the folk on this tremendous forum. The experienced pilgrims have been patient and kind to us newcomers. After a five month delay and great anticipation, I will begin my walk on February 25 from Bordeaux bound for Santiago and...

    Which guide is your favorite?

    I just purchased the Kindle version and there is a lot of easily accessible useful information available. Can't wait to dive into it. I leave for Bordeaux in 16 days to begin The Camino from there. My first! Thanks for the recommendation. Ray

    The pastel de nata debate -- hot or room temp?

    I've been enjoying pasteis since 1976. Even found them in Guangzhou; leftover from when the Portuguese set up a trading post in Canton 500 years ago. I love them hot or cold but prefer them with cinnamon only.
